International Women's Day (IWD) fell on February 8, 1909, the date of March 8 was not settled until after the First World War and IWD as such in 1975. At the beginning of the 20th century, one of the main goals of the holiday was to win women the right to vote, which was most notably championed by British women, along with Americans.
IWD is an internationally recognized holiday established by the United Nations to commemorate the anniversary of the strike of 40,000 New York seamstresses in 1908. They fought for the abolition of compulsory ten-hour working hours, against low wages and poor working conditions.
The date of March 8 became established only after World War I, mainly under the influence of a large demonstration in St. Petersburg in 1917 just before the February Revolution, which took place on the last Sunday in February according to the Julian calendar, which is equivalent to March 8 of the Gregorian calendar. The holiday spread rapidly, its content fluctuating from political and feminist protest to an apolitical socialist equivalent of Mother's Day.
Prior to World War I, women made the following demands in particular:
- the right to vote
- eight-hour working hours
- improvement of special legislation
In Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, the first Mother's Day was held as early as 1911. In 1913 it was also celebrated in Tsarist Russia. In 1917, after the women's riots and demonstrations in St. Petersburg, March 8 was firmly established as Midsummer's Day.
Since 1975, it has been commemorated as a day of international women's solidarity for equality, justice, peace and development.
